an executive or two in jail and we'll sure enough see security magically happen.

Should we throw the President in jail if the government gets breached?
no, of course not. (nice straw-man attempt, btw)

Just the way boards of companies have fiduciary duty, there should be some of sort customer information protection duty that companies are responsible / liable for. basic security practices are being neglected at far too many companies.

Really not trying to strawman. You literally said an executive or two should be thrown in jail if their organization was breached. So which government executive would you "throw in jail" if their organization was breached?
If he incited the breach, sure.
